Rock N Roll Mamas
2013 · 56m
Rock N Roll Mamas is a feature-length documentary about three indie rockers who strive to follow their creative dreams and raise their children. Over the course of six years, director, Jackie Weissman, followed Kristin Hersh of Throwing Muses, Zia McCabe of The Dandy Warhols, and hip hop artist, Ms. Su'ad. The verite style of this film takes the viewer into the daily grind of these women's lives. We watch the women as they tour and perform, go to play dates, juggle childcare, and get to gigs. It is a mixture that isn't the glamorous life we imagine when we think of rock musicians, it's the reality.

'Twas the Night Before Bumpy

The following trio of lovable characters has emerged from every child's imagination and landed under the bed of a young boy: Mr. Bumpy, the zany green, purple-warted mischievous sock-eating monster with the uncontrollable energy of a 10 year old, and his two best friends Squishington and Molly Coddle. The gang stars in a holiday musical adventure in which Mr. Bumpy and Squishington head for the North Pole to bag some Christmas loot. En route, the misdirected buddies are sidetracked and find themselves in the jungles of Peru - where they are held captive by an earthworm soldier.
